Crop circles are so 1990s. Nowadays, my favorite mysterious, creative phenomenon is snow art. Did aliens make it? Does it indicate some old druid structure hidden beneath the snow? Or is it just down to some insanely creative artist?
Err, yeah, you guessed it: it’s the last one. In fact, these abstract images in the snow are inspired by crop circles, and are produced by Simon Beck. On his Facebook page, he explains that he manages to “create [them] by walking in the snow wearing briquettes (snowshoes).”
It sounds like hard work. The worst part seems to me the lack of permanence—but then, maybe that makes it all the more poetic. Either way, keep at is Simon: we love it. [Simon Beck]
Do you guys just sit on Reddit alllllll day?
Anyone for a game of Q-Bert?
There used to be an annual show called the ‘Snow Show’ in which Architectural Practices were challenged with building innovative structures out of snow and ice in Lapland. Not sure they hold it anymore, it was a lot more exciting than crop circles.
